Analysis of Google Scholar

Philipp Mayr, Google Scholar - How deep does this search engine dig? in Proceedings 10th International Conference of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics, Stockholm, 2005. (Thanks to DigLit.)
Abstract: The poster shows first results from the Google Scholar search engine. The empirical study analyses different journal lists (STM journals, Open Access journals and German social sciences journals). We analysed the coverage and actuality of this new scientific Google service and found gaps in Google Scholars’ journal coverage and actuality. We also can present the most important/frequent webservers where Google Scholar documents are deposited.
